December 19th, 1921. Mr. Prince Freeling, Attorney General, Oklahoma City, Okla. Dear Sir: I am writing you a personal letter about my case. You not doubt recall the Gustafson trial, on the indictment of the former Chief and Bay Ward and myself. I have never felt that I was rightfully indicted, as I have always tried to do what was right, and have never pulled a crooked 'stunt'. As to the Brady case, Mr. Ward was the head of the department in which I was working, and that was handled according to his orders, and I believe he was doing his best to get the inside information on a gang of thieves, but please remember I was under his orders. Three months ago I had the bad luck to be in an accident that turned me out with a badly broken leg, and I now can just hobble around without a cane or crutches. I have not been able to work at anything, and surely want to get my case tried soon or get it dismissed, as I don't like to apply for work with that hanging over me. I want to go back to work in the Department here, or go somewhere else and go to work as something I can do. Mr. Freeling, please see what you can do for me. I surely will appreciate it, and assure you that you will never have any cause to regret it. Please write me and let me know what you can do. Sincerely yours, [signature] Roy Meacham
